Orchestra of the Senses

Human Plus

Described Video:
Sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell send sensory messages to the brain at a speed of 430km/hr. The two cerebral hemispheres deal with 11 million information signals per second -an imperceptible and continual effort. This continual flow of information is sorted and analyzed by the brain, which directs the senses, organizes them, and improves them without any technological intervention
